Chapter 716: Promising

The reception room of the Fox Building, Century City, Beverly Hills.
　　
Mark Gordon, a famous Hollywood producer and an executive at Fox Studios, looked at the German director opposite, and said with earnest words: "Roland, 20th Century Fox has worked with you on "Independence Day", "Patriot" and "The Day After Acquired" and many other movies, we are partners, you have a new project, 20th Century Fox will definitely give priority to you, and all production resources will also be tilted towards you."
　　
　　 Roland Emmerich was very calm: "The project has just had an intention, and I haven't considered it yet."
　　
　　 Mark Gordon laughed: "But there are already rumors outside that you want to cooperate with other companies."
　　
As Roland Emmerich’s long-term partner, producer Harold Kluther said at this time: "Mark, I remember Roland did not sign a long-term contract with Twentieth Century Fox? Who is Roland's cooperation with? free."
　　
"I don't mean anything else." Mark Gordon knew very well that with Roland Emmerich's success, Twentieth Century Fox couldn't force him at all, and said with a smile: "Roland, your new project, please give priority to it. Twentieth Century Fox, we are partners who know the roots and know the bottom."
　　
　　 Roland Emmerich didn’t want to get stiff with Twentieth Century Fox, and said, "I will."
　　
Harold Kluther reminded: "Mark, cooperation is not just talking about it, you have to show sincerity. Don't be afraid to tell you the truth, at present Warner Bros. and Shahai Entertainment are interested in cooperating with Roland, and Sony Columbia Pictures also asked about it. The possibility of cooperation with Roland."
　　
Warner Bros? Sony Columbia? According to Mark Gordon’s previous news, Shahai Entertainment is interested in Roland Emmerich’s new project.
　　
　　Why did this Warner Bros. and Sony Columbia also jump out?
　　
Mark Gordon has a sense of urgency. After all, this is Roland Emmerich, who directed and filmed the top Hollywood commercials of "Remake Warrior", "Independence Day", "Godzilla", "Patriot" and "The Day After" director.
　　
　　 Not to mention that Warner Bros., Sandsea Entertainment, and Sony Columbia Pictures are interested in Roland Emmerich’s new film. Even if all of Hollywood’s large and medium-sized companies compete together, Mark Gordon will not be surprised.
　　
　　 Roland Emmerich is after all one of the top commercial film directors in Hollywood.
　　
Mark Gordon knew that he had to hold Roland Emmerich’s side first, and said: "Roland, I can assure you here that as long as your new project passes the 20th Century Fox review, the production budget will never be less than "The Day After Acquired"! Your personal treatment will definitely increase on the basis of "The Day After Acquired"!"
　　
Roland Emmerich looked at Harold Kluther, who nodded slightly, opened the briefcase, took out the script and project plan, and handed it to Mark Gordon: "Roland and I also hope to continue to be familiar with The company cooperated with the company and hope that 20th Century Fox can give the green light to the project as soon as possible."
　　
　　 Mark Gordon attaches great importance: "I promise, this week will enter the review process."
　　
　　 I have said everything that I should have said, and I have basically gotten the promises I deserved, and it is impossible to get more at this stage. Roland Emmerich and Harold Kluther left the Fox Building immediately.
　　
After getting in the car, Harold Kluther said, "Roland, even if the 20th Century Fox passes the review, we don’t need to worry, let alone give them any promises. Now that many companies are interested in your new project, the more they compete for it. , The more we can strive for favorable conditions for cooperation."
　　
　　 Roland Emmerich trusts the producer who has been cooperating for many years and said: "I'm only in charge of filming. Mark, you will handle the rest."
　　
　　 Harold Kluther is confident: "Don't worry, I will get the best conditions for the project."
　　
"In the beginning it was just Warner Bros. Later, there was a Sand Sea Entertainment." Roland Emmerich said in his German accented English: "Twentieth Century Fox and Sony Columbia also appeared. I was so popular. ?"
　　
　　 Harold Kluther laughed: "Roland, you have always been very popular! Don't forget, you are Roland Emmerich!"
　　
　　 Roland Emmerich is the key to his confidence and courage to make "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistory" this project up for sale.
　　
　　 "Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox and Sony Columbia have all cooperated with us." Roland Emmerich is somewhat doubtful: "But Shahai Entertainment, we have not cooperated, and they are also interested..."
　　
　　 Harold Kluther said: "This just shows that Shahai Entertainment has vision. Do you know who Shahai Entertainment contacted me?"
　　
　　 Roland Emmerich asked curiously, "Could it be Roan Anderson?"
　　
　　 "No." Harold Kluther gave the answer: "George Clint, CEO of Shahai Entertainment, he personally told me that Shahai Entertainment is interested in your new project."
　　
　　In the Fox Tower, Mark Gordon just returned to the office when the assistant followed.
　　
　　 Mark Gordon handed the script and project plan that he had read to his assistant: "Send it to the review committee and let them go through the process as soon as possible."
　　
　　 Frankly speaking, the story of this script is clichéd and nothing new at all. If you change to another director, you can only send the script to Ku Luohui. But this is a new project by Roland Emmerich.
　　
　　 Roland Emmerich’s project, which plot is outstanding? Regardless of "Independence Day" or "The Day After Tomorrow", the plot can only maintain the most basic logic. If you look at it with a little brain, you will find loopholes everywhere.
　　
　　 The selling point of this German director’s film has never been the plot. It is impossible to judge the quality of the film based on the plot alone.
　　
In fact, many commercial films are like this, Mark Gordon is not surprised, such as Michael Bay’s best film at the box office, looking for a group of oil workers to blow up asteroids in space, and there are more outrageous and brainless plots than this. ? The film turned out to be a huge hit at the box office.
　　
　　 On the contrary, many scripts whose plots seem to be excellent are unbearable.
　　
　　The assistant took the script and project plan, but did not leave. Instead, he said, "BOSS, I just got a news."
　　
　　 Mark Gordon glanced at him: "What news?"
　　
　　The assistant said as concisely and quickly as possible: "We have been staring at Shahai Entertainment, and we have feedback that Shahai Entertainment is planning a new big production project."
　　
　　 "Now Shahai Entertainment has several big new projects every year." Mark Gordon couldn't help but interject: "Those projects are either from Ronan Anderson's creativity or adaptations of works that bought out copyright..."
　　
　　 He couldn't help shaking his head. What's the use of knowing? The copyright has long been firmly held by Shahai Entertainment.
　　
　　 Assistant quickly said: "This time is different. There is definite news that Shahai Entertainment is planning to adapt the script based on Robin Hood and "Exodus", and it is very likely to shoot related movies."
　　
　　 Mark Gordon immediately asked: "Is the news sure?"
　　
　　 "OK." The assistant said again: "This has already been spread within the screenwriting department of Shahai Entertainment."
　　
　　In the past, Shahai Entertainment’s projects have not been kept secret. Because of copyright issues, even if they know it, it is useless. However, Robin Hood is different from "Exodus" in that there is no copyright dispute.
　　
　　 Assistant added: "The sources of these two projects come from Ronan Anderson's office."
　　
　　 Mark Gordon walked back and forth twice, Ronan Anderson’s project is hard to ignore! This represents success and represents a large amount of future revenue...
　　
"Notify all personnel above the supervisor level in the department." Just like facing Roland Emmerich, Mark Gordon has never been the kind of hesitant person: "We will meet tomorrow morning so that they will be familiar with Robin Hood and Robin Hood as soon as possible today. "Exodus" related content!"
　　
　　The assistant quickly responded: "Yes, I will go now."
　　
　　Mark Gordon felt that Ronan Anderson was more important than Roland Emmerich, and said, "Let others go to the review committee, you should deal with this matter first."
　　
　　The assistant said, "Yes."
　　
　　 When the assistant left the office, Mark Gordon immediately sat in front of the computer, first checked the legend about Robin Hood via the Internet, and then read the Exodus in the Bible carefully.
　　
　　 was probably influenced by the success represented by the name Ronan Anderson, and Mark Gordon became more and more aware of Robin Hood and the adaptation of "Exodus".
　　
　　The related stories are widely spread, and they are full of Hollywood-style personal heroism, or classic themes...
　　
　　 20th Century Fox is not the only one who pays attention to the latest developments in Shahai Entertainment.
　　
　　Warner Studios, Charles Rowan pushed open the door of Kevin Tesuhara's office.
　　
　　 "Are you looking for me, Kevin?" He pulled the chair away and sat down.
　　
Kevin Tesohara looked serious: "I got the exact news that Shahai Entertainment not only did not reject Roland Emmerich’s new project ~EbookFREE.me~, it had formally engaged with Roland Emmerich. The person who came in contact with them was George Clint, an absolute confidant of Ronan Anderson."
　　
　　 Charles Rowan was a little surprised: "Ronan Anderson took a fancy to this project?"
　　
"Sandsea Entertainment wants to cooperate with Roland Emmerich." Kevin Tesuhara has confirmed this: "It's not just them. Twentieth Century Fox and Sony Columbia Pictures are also cooperating with Roland Emery. The strange side has been in contact."
　　
　　 The situation was completely unexpected, Charles Rowan frowned: "But the epic project..."
　　
Kevin Tesuhara said: "The 20th Century Fox and Sony Columbia are not important, but Ronan Anderson pays attention to it. From past experience, the project is extraordinary. The epic film has failed consecutively this year. It seems that the prospects are worrying. We may have overlooked the situation. The situation faced by pirate films was ten times worse than that of epic films, but Ronan Anderson promoted "Pirates of the Caribbean" and achieved great success."
　　
　　 Charles Ronan thought of the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and didn't know what to say for a while.
　　
"People will immediately formally negotiate with Roland Emmerich, and Warner Bros. needs him to fulfill the verbal promise." Kevin Tesohala added: "Also, there is definite information that Ronan Anderson has given the order Adapted movies about Robin Hood and "Exodus." Charles, you are an expert in production, and you immediately call for a demonstration of feasibility."
